This is an ambiguous question. World champs are held every 2 years. Which one are you referring to? And which event? There is not one overall winner.

Bejing Olympics 2008

In the 2008 Bejing Olympics

Twenty in a 50 meter pool (Olympic), or 40 in a 25 yard pool (collegiate). However, there is no 1 km race in an olympic pool, it is either an 800 meter or a 1500 meter, which they call the mile.

4 Gold Medals and 2 silver Medals. The 4 × 200 m freestyle and 4 × 100 m medley Gold Medals were won as a member of the team. The 4 × 100 m freestyle Silver Medal was also won as a member of the team

Lots of people can swim a mile at a very young age. I think I first swum 1 mile at the age of 6.

The most amount of gold medals ever won at a single Olympic swimming competition was 8, and it was done by Michael Phelps of the US at the Beijing 2008 summer Olympics.

Steffen Deibler holds the world record in the 50m butterfly.

A semi-olympic pool is 25 meters long by 12.5 meters wide with a depth of between 1.2 and 1.6 meters.

Yes! Phelps will compete in the 2012 US Olympic Swimming Trials, if he makes the team(top 2 spots in each event) he will swim in the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. These Games will be his 4th (Sydney, Athens, Beijing, London) and final.

competition and practice caps will keep about 90% of hair dry. my thought is this: if it is an attempt to keep chlorine out of your hair, it is best to wet your hair with tap or bottled water first. hair soaks up water like a sponge, so if your sponge (hair) is saturated with low chlorine water, then not much else can get in to do damage. aloha

The United States has won a total 2390 medals in total in all Olympic games. 972 of these were bronze, 758 were silver, and 660 were gold.

Both lanes 4 and 5 are highlighted by using yellow lane ropes. The swimmers who compete in these lanes have either the fastest entry times or in the case of the final, the fastest qualifiying times. It is an advantage to swim in these lanes as often they are subject to less water turbulance than others. Spectators also can identify swimmers more easily by the use of the yellow lane markings.

The first man to win 4 Olympic gold in swimming was Charlie Daniels of the United States who won the 220 yard freestyle, 440 yard freestyle, and 4x50 yard freestyle at the 1904 Games in St. Louis and won the 100 meter freestyle at the 1908 Games in London.

The first man to win 4 gold in swimming in one Olympic Games was Don Schollander of the United States who won the 100 meter freestyle, 200 meter freestyle, 4x100 meter freestyle relay, and 4x200 meter freestyle relay at the 1964 Games in Tokyo.

Lane assignments Swimmers and relay teams are seeded according to times from the previous round so that the fastest swimmers/teams are in the central lanes of the pool, and the slowest are in the outer ones: Lane 4: fastest swimmer or relay team Lane 5: second-fastest Lane 3: third-fastest Lane 6: fourth-fastest Lane 2: fifth-fastest Lane 7: sixth-fastest Lane 1: seventh-fastest Lane 8: eighth-fastest Being in the middle of the pool is advantageous because waves reverberating off the side walls can slow a swimmer. Also, swimmers in the middle lanes are better able to monitor other competitors. Source(s): http://www.nbcolympics.com/swimming/insidethissport/format/newsid=101927.html#competition+format
